ganged tethers Have several
separate tethers; then guide or gang those tethers into a close trunk
arrangement. A loss of one tether in the trunk set of tethers leaves the
other tethers available for tasks.

gangline, gang line, gang-line, "The
gangline is the series of ropes, clips, cables, and so on that attach your team
of ________"

Kite Energy is so novel that we must
borrow or invent much of the language required to practice it. "Gangline" fills
a major gap in our nomenclature & refers to any kiteline along which multiple
kite elements are attached. The usage comes from dog sledding-

gangline
-- the line that runs between the dogs and connects to the object being towed.
Source: Alaskan Terms Glossary.

By means of a gangline, large numbers of scale-limited power or lifter kites
can be aggregated for utility-scale production. The term applies to many kinds
of kite trains, arches, and lattices. It is even natural to imagine
hierarchical dendritic "ganglines of ganglines", just as a tree branches
from trunk to leaves. Without ganglines, it is hard to imagine how we
could ever get the full potential out of kites.

gas kite Carl F. Myers
"sky-cycle" was also called a "gas-kite" of circa 1900, as told in Popular
Science magzine, Vol. 58, page 617. ""The
sky-cycle, or gas-kite, is a hand and foot propelled air-ship, provided with
revolving screw-sails, vibrating wings, movable aeroplanes and universal
rudder—the object of the entire equipage being to test ..."

Aircraft using gravity to drive its body through a fluid with a non-zero
L/D deflection. Heavier than air gliders have positive L/D. LTA gliders may
have negative L/D relative to reference used in conventional gliding down as
positive.

Those skilled in the attending arts see that a paraglider is a gliding
kite.

Just the wing of a paraglider (sans essential tether and resistive set) is
not a paraglider type of glider when set in fluid stream; the wing is then a
non-paraglider glider.

Just the wing of a kite is no longer a kite but a wing that is a glider
when set in fluid stream.

Hang gliders are gliders. But there are gliders that are not hang gliders.

There are gliders that are not hang gliders, not gliding kites.

A sailplane is a glider

A gliding parachute is a gliding kite and is thus a glider.

It is nearly impossible for any parachute not to be a glider in part of its
flight, as perfect zero L/D is nearly impossible to obtain due to the slight
asymmetries that occur in real material parachutes designed for zero L/D; gusts
and vibrations will set up asymmetries that result in a non-zero L/D for much
of the flight of parachute. By default, aircraft meant to approach zero L/D are
called parachutes.

gliding kites, n. "exciting new class of
kites knows as "Gliding Kites." Actually not new. Hang
gliders that hang the pilot or payload from a tether are gliding kite systems.
Canopy gliders are gliding kites. When the anchor of a kite system is
perhaps a human with hand control and the pilot controls the wing to go into
slack-tether, the tether may become the payload during a gliding episode, but
in that gliding episode, the drag or resisting of the hanging tether keeps the
gliding wing as a kite system, but with a moving falling anchor (the slack
tether). Indoor zero-wind kiting is being visited by gliding kites.
Kite energy is considering advancing the potential energy of the wing of a kite
system by way of tether timed tugs combined with wing controls; such efforts
may include a stepped-tow and stepped gliding in order to obtain a net climbing
of the wing or a keeping of the wing at a certain altitude.
Eddy kite glider. Canopy
paragliders are gliding kites.

gliding kites, verb: Have the wing of a kite system go into
gliding episode. Or take the wing of a kite system and fully release the
tether, so the wing becomes a glider.

08/11/2010 - The team of "Green Wing" designed a wind turbine that generates
electricity using a kite.The
steering dragon that moves in up to 1000m altitude generated by a cycle of
extract and feed stream that can then be fed into the grid.The
advantage of Green Wing than normal wind turbines is the immense height of the
kite - in such heights dominate much more constant and stronger especially
winds."Green Wing" is a
foundation project UnternehmerTUM GmbH, Centre for Innovation and Business
Creation at the TU Munich.In the
autumn, the company will be formally established.(Static)

grid-tie inverter (GTI) wiki "grid-interactive inverter" Say that your KES is making direct
current electricity and you want to make alternating current conditioned to
send into an existing electrical grid that is based on alternating current;
then a GTI will be involved.

Distinguish: graphite reinforced polymer rods where the "G"
is supressed to "C" for the "carbon" as graphite is a form of carbon.
"graphite fiber" is also sometimes used to refer tocarbon
fiberorcarbon
fiber-reinforced polymer.
Perhaps more common for the carbon is to use the "C" as the CRP rod for carbon
reinforced plastic rod. Or CFRP for carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (or
plastic).
